Not public domain, but how about $50 for a pretty complete C-Shell?
David Beckmayer sells Micro C-Shell for the 520ST, and, though I haven't
received my copy yet, Art Leyenberger of Analog Magazine claims it's great.
The $50 version comes with various development tools, and I think there's
a $25 version which is just the shell itself.

David's address:

Beckmeyer Development Tools
592 Jean Street #304
Oakland, CA 94610

He has also mentioned on CompuServe that he has a *multitasking* kernel
for the ST called Micro-RTX, and will send the specifications to those
interested.  Not sure if he's shipping it yet.  This kernel is for 
development on the ST only, and is not designed as a general multitasking
environment.

Hope my facts are right...
